Does your school have the polices and procedures in place to optimise the health of it’s community?
This can feel like an overwhelming challenge. Schools have very limited resources and finding the time, money, expertise and willingness of community to buy into healthier options does present some issues.
Lifestyle First can advise and help to make some simple changes to help embed the health first approach. No longer can we just accept the status quo and ‘lifestyle drift’ towards the range of unhealthy foods, toxic substances, lack of movement, increasing anxiety, increasing screen time that is happening across many school communities.
Culture is set at the top and Lifestyle First strategically works with school leaders to change the expectations of its staff, parents and finally students. Living healthily is a challenge in our modern environment unless we can control it and make it work for us. School communities are a great place to start making this happen.
When your school adopts a ‘health first’ approach amazing things start to happen! You can expect:
- Attendance
- Resilience
- Behaviour
- Attainment
- Relationships
- Energy and concentration
- Confidence
- Anxiety
- EBSA
- Time spent firefighting
This means your staff will have more time and energy to put into delivering outstanding lessons and your students will be able to learn more effectively in the classroom.
